During the Tron: Ares’ San Diego Comic-Con 2025 panel, Ares talked about the strategies he employed to work with Leto’s unconventional acting style during the filming of the Disney sci-fi sequel.

The actor commented, “He’s one of those individuals who approaches things differently from others. Each person has their unique style and approach, right?” He continued, trying not to cause offense as a fellow performer, “I felt a strong connection with you, and I wanted to use your name casually. Your name is Ares, but can I just call you Air instead? Surprisingly, he agreed, saying, ‘Sure thing! You can call me whatever you like!’ We had a wonderful time together.

It’s not new that one of Leto’s acting companions has spoken about the actor’s unique approach to method acting. Previously, it was revealed that for the Suicide Squad movie in 2016, where Leto played the Joker, he sent unusual presents to his co-stars. An example is a live rat he gave to his on-screen lover, Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie.

During the Tron: Ares SDCC panel, Leto, who was there too, openly acknowledged his initial apprehension about acting alongside Bridges. This nervousness even caused him to interrupt their first scene together by saying “cut!” This was unexpected since he usually doesn’t do that. However, he couldn’t suppress his excitement, as he put it, “I just can’t stop smiling because I’m working with my guy.
